Digital Rebel or Pentax *ist DS?

[TKHDebater]

I'd like to get a DSLR and I'm shooting for ~$1,000 with a lens. The only two DSLRs that fall into this are the Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP or the Canon 300D Digital Rebel. I'm interested in which you'd pick. Thanks

what about nikon D70? with rebate and get it online, you can get it for under $1k.

I'd buy the Pentax but that's only because I've already got a bunch of K-mount lenses.
